Our verdict

Choose the Lenovo Tab M11 for the biggest screen and best sound — four Dolby Atmos speakers and an 11-inch display make videos and calls easier to see and hear — plus the full Google Play store. Choose the Fire HD 10 for the lowest price and hands-free Alexa voice control, ideal for a senior who struggles with touch, as long as Amazon's app store covers what they need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which one can install any app?
The Lenovo Tab M11 — it runs standard Android with the full Google Play store. The Fire HD 10 is limited to Amazon's app store, so a specific video-calling or bank app the family uses may simply not exist there. Check that before choosing on price.
Which is better for someone hard of hearing?
The Lenovo, which has four Dolby Atmos speakers — noticeably louder and clearer for videos and calls than a typical tablet. Combined with its 11-inch screen, it is the better pick when both seeing and hearing the screen are difficult.
Does the Lenovo have a simplified senior mode?
No. That is its main drawback here: it offers Android's large-text accessibility options but nothing like Samsung's Easy Mode. The Fire interface is simpler out of the box and adds hands-free Alexa, which the Lenovo does not have.
Which is cheaper?
The Lenovo, at about $150 versus $180 — and without lock-screen ads. It is the unusual case where the more open device is also the less expensive one; what you trade away is Alexa voice control and Amazon's simpler front end.
